Thinking of You by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration on a card that could be used for many occasions just by changing the sentiment.

My card measures approximately 6 x 4 inches and the paper pad I have used is from Craft Consortium called Wild Rose. I started by adding my base layer onto my card and cutting my Doily in half from white cardstock.

My Tea Roses were also cut from the same patterned paper, shaping on my Embossing mat and adding a Gem into the centres. I bunched them together onto my card with a leaf flourish and my stamped sentiment.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used :

LSC16 Rectangle Stitch and Cut Tool

DL103 Italian Flourish Doily

B571 Leafy Flourish

B436 Tea Rose Medium

DL303 Set of 3 Pierced Banners

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely creative weekend.

Crafty Hugs,

Flower Pot Card with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share this flower pot card using Cheery Lynn Designs Dies with you today! I have seen several of these cards and I wanted to make one for my mother for Mother's Day this year. So I thought I would make one early to make sure it comes out the way I wanted it to look. OMGosh! If you haven't made one of these flower pot cards in the past...I highly recommend you trying to make your first. They are truly beautiful!

The base is 3.5 x 9 inches. Scored at 2 inches and 5.5 inches. I then cut 1 inch off the top of the 2 border and added the "border carnivale" in white for the edge. I layered some ribbon around the whole top and added a bow towards the left side. I then die cut 3 sets of the "sunflower set" in yellow and placed some black gala glitz in the centers for a bit of bling. The 2 largest "leafy flourish"were placed behind the flowers and then I added 2 of the smaller "leafy flourish" to drape down onto the flower pot.

The insert with flowers and your personal message is 2.75 x 5 inches. I stamped a sentiment on the left hand corner and added 3 small butterflies from "mini dimensional butterflies". There are so many cute butterflies to choose from this set. I layered them in white cardstock to make it pop out a bit.

Hope your enjoyed my flower pot card today!

Be Mine by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Everyone, its JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration for Valentine's Day using a couple of the new dies from our latest release.

I started off by matting and layering my stacker layers onto my card and then I added my border to the top and bottom of my card. I paper pieced my flourish into place to make it larger for this design, hiding the join with a flower. My flowers were cut out of patterned cardstock and some Flowersoft added to the centres.

I just adore this new Film Set, you get 2 different sizes in the pack. I cut mine out in Black cardstock and then positioned the same die over my image, this way it would nest perfectly into my Photo Frame.

My Teddy was cut out in White cardstock, shading with Distress ink. I layered patterned and black cardstock behind the accents. The heart and his arms were layered on twice for extra dimension. I also placed a little bend into the cardstock at his ears and feet. Finishing off with a little bling.

Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope to see you joining in our latest Bi-Weekly challenge which currently is Tickled Pink.

Wishing You Sunny Days by Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hello there sweet Cheery Lynn friends!

It's Karen here, sharing my "anything goes" challenge car. Today, marks two years since I became a Cheery Lynn Designs Team Member. It's very bittersweet posting my last blog entry for this amazing company! On that note, I thought this sentiment was fitting for expressing my gratitude for all your lovely comments throughout my term here as DT member. If you happen to follow my blog, I will still be promoting the use of these gorgeous and intricate dies!

I love to layer, so basically, I started with the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker die as my base. Next, layered the Horizon Fishtail Banner right on top of the French Flair piece. Then, I die cut the Pierced Stacker #2 and stamped my sentiment. I layered this onto the Circle Classic Silver Stacker,

and then place it onto the Daphne Doily! You will notice that I intentionally left some of the pieces within the doily for a slightly different look.

Then, I made a blue daisy using the Daisy Strip! I die cut the Leafy Flourish and Leaf sets and placed them both underneath my flower. I added a sweet rhinestone flourish as well! Lastly, I cut out one of the butterflies from my Small Exotic Butterflies set, and added a few shiny pearls.

Turkey Time with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello! It's Jenny posting today with a card using Tom The Turkey. This die is so incredibly detailed, it's amazing. I didn't end up using a lot of embellishments because Tom didn't need it. He can stand on his own. I colored him with distress ink, fluffed out his tail feathers and popped him up with foam adhesive.

He's standing on four layers of card stock that I cut using the Pierced Stacker #3 die. The top layer was cut with the die and then I hand cut the pierced edge off so it would be slightly smaller than the orange layer. The largest white layer of Pierced Stacker #3 was made by tracing the outside of the die and then hand cutting the edge with a scissor.

The stitched detail on the 5.5" base layer was cut using the Square Stitch Nesting die. This die doesn't cut the squares but it does add these stitches in a variety of sizes. It's perfect for adding a little extra detail. Last I cut flourishes from the Leafy Flourish die, added a little distress ink to the edges and tucked the die cuts around the Turkey.

Believe Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello!

Corina here with you today! This weeks card inspiration came from my stamped sentiment. I sometimes need a little reminder once in a while!

As you might have noticed on my previous cards, I love Cheery Lynns banners. I saw the Tags 4 in my Cheery Lynn Die book and thought I would give them a try instead, to create a flag look. I am happy with the results!

I have also used one die from the Royal Scandinavian Border Set to cut into the burgundy paper strip border. I layered the border on top of black cardstock to add depth.

On top of my stamped embossed sentiment, I have added a Page Tab. I love this set for card making, mini albums, journals, and page layouts.

My flower was created using Judy's Blooms, Dandelions, and the Leafy Flourish die. Inked and finished off with a black rhinestone for the center.

Dies Used:

Judy's Blooms - C184

Dandelions (Set of 2) - B453

Leafy Flourish (Set of 2) - B571

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Tags 4 - B263

Page Tabs (Set of 8) - B567

Royal Scandinavian Border Set (set of 3) - B524

I hope you will play along in our weekly Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 191 - Christmas in July. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Design Store.

Thanks for joining me today!

A Gift For You by Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn friends! It's Karen sharing a lovely gift card with you today!

It can be used for any special occasion.

This one is for that special coffee or tea lover!

I started by making a 5.5 x 5.5 card based and then layered the designer

paper right on top, and stitched some crazy stitching using my sewing machine.

Then, I die cut the A2 Frames Rectangle Scalloped,

along with the Card Maker Rectangle Classic and layered the Scalloped piece

to the bottom. Then proceeded by cutting a 1.5 strip of designer paper

to go across the card. I tucked the Border Carnivale and layered

that piece right beneath the strip of paper.

Next, I took the Card Maker Rectangle Classic die and put as the next layer.

The final layer was cutting the B546 Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 and stamping

the sentiment on top, and adding a few pearls!

Finally, I made two sweet distressed flowers using

the Judy's Bloom & Leafy Flourish dies, added some seed beads for the centers!

Finished the card off by making a pretty distressed crinkly ribbon!

Just need to add a gift card inside for that special person!

Dream Card by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here sharing a new card. I've had a lot going on lately (mostly fun but busy) and I wanted to make a fun, lighthearted card. I pulled out my alcohol ink markers (Copics and Shin Han), Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, some of my favorite patterned paper colors and started playing.

The bottom layer is 5 3/4 square piece of patterned paper, topped with a 5 1/2 piece of white paper that I embelished with the Silver Stitching Tool die. I added another patterned paper on top and cut into it with the next largest size of the stitching tool. I love the stitched edge this creates. I then layered the new Pierced Stackers #3, a Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily, and then the top layer is a Silver Stacker from the Oval Classic set.

I cut the smaller Dream word out of the Dream Big Phrase set and glued it to the Paris Signs 4. The beautiful Whistle a Happy Tune note was cut out of gray paper and sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink.

Last I made the pink flowers using the Small Gardenia, distress inks and a stylus tool to mold them. I scrunched the flowers up while they were still wet with ink to get a more distressed crinkly look and after it dried I added extra worn lipstick distress ink to the edges with a foam applicator. The blue daisy was made with the Shasta Daisy die. The edges were sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink and molded with a stylus tool. I cut the leaves from green paper using the new Leafy Flourish die. Yellow rhinestones were glued to the centers of the pink flowers and a blue pearl was added to the daisy to add sparkle.

You're in My Thoughts by Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello there! It's Karen sharing a shabby & thoughtful card with you today!

To create this card, I used three of the six layers from

the new Pierced Stacker #1 set!

I die cut them using different designer papers.

I also used the Circle Classic Silver Stacker

and placed it onto the bigger Pierced Stacker.

Then, I took the Royal Scandinavian Doily, and die cut it onto designer paper.

I took that piece and glued it to the pierced piece that has the

sentiment stamped on it. I really like this extra effect this adds!

I complimented the papers by making three shabby Black Eyed Susan flowers.

I added the Leafy Flourish amongst the flowers...

Once Upon a Time with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Happy Thursday! It's Jenny posting with a card I created using some new dies from the April Cheery Lynn Designs release.

I designed this card around the Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily and everything evolved from there. The Shasta Daisy was colored with distress ink and shaped using a molding mat and stylus tool. I added a shimmery embossing paste to the edges with a paintbrush for sparkle. The daisy was layered on top of the new Deutchland Super Doily. It was the perfect size to layer behind the daisy for added interest.

The blue layer was cut using the Rectangular Scalloped A2 Frames die. A pattern was cut into it using the second largest of the Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker A2 Frames. The blue layer sits on a piece of patterned paper cut with the Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frames which was then backed with a kraft A2 size card. I popped up the Scandinavian Oval Doily with foam adhesive for dimension and then glued the Shasta Daisy, Pumpkin Carriage, Leafy Flourish and Dripping Butterfly around the main sentiment.

The Once Upon a Time Set was cut twice, once in blue and then again in brown. I offset them so the blue shadow would be visible underneath the brown. The tag they are layered on was cut using the Pierced Stacker 4 from patterned card stock and the edges were painted with clear stickles.

The three New Release dies that I used are the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily, Pierced Banners and Leafy Flourish.

Above is a close up of the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily die, cut from white cardstock. I backed it with dark blue cardstock and add rhinestones for sparkle! This die is so elegant and can be used in so many ways.

In this next picture, I used the Pierced Banners and the Leafy Flourish dies.

I layered the large and small Pierced Banners die to the card base and added the Tags 4 die with my sentiment to the top right in the picture above.

I then added the Leafy Flourish die on top which was cut from white cardstock. I wanted more layers so, I added two petal layers of the Sweet Christine to the larger flower and two petal layers from the Embellishment #2 to the smaller flower. Added a rhinestone to the flower centers and down the side of the large Pierced Banners.

Wish Big with Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn friends, Karen here sharing

a sweet birthday card with you today!

First, I used two of the stackers from the

NEW Heart Edge Square (set of 6) and die cut

them in two different designer papers!

Then, I layered the pink designer paper,using the Square Classic Silver Stackers,

onto grey designer paper to create a subtle backing!

This layer has been popped up using pop dots!

Next step was to die cut the most adorable NEW Eloise the Elephant die.

To make the "HAPPY" part of Eloise's tummy stand out, I backed

it with blue designer paper.

You'll see I also backed the toes, eyebrow, and eye with

designer papers too!

I also wanted her to stand out, so I added pop dots beneath!!

Lastly, I used the NEW Leafy Flourish (set of 2) with green designer paper

and tucked them behind the elephant.

I then layered four tiny flowers I created using

the Embellishments #3 die set, and added pearl centers to each flower!

To finish my card, I used the Sentiment Frame #2 die set

and stamped the sentiment!

List of dies I used:

DL295 Heart Edge Square (set of 6)

L1 Square Classic Silver Stackers

B562 Eloise the Elephant

B571 Leafy Flourish (set of 2)

B190 Sentiment Frame #2

B265 Embellishments #3

Thanks for stopping by today!

Ballerina Girl by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today hosting the blog. I think we all have dreamed of becoming a Ballet Dancer at some point in our lives and today I am showcasing the beautiful Arabesque Ballerina from the April 2015 New Release.

I die cut my frame, inking the edges with Tattered Rose Distress Ink. I stamped a script stamp and also inked the edges of the centrepiece, finally mounting all onto a peach/pink coloured cardstock.

My Ballet shoes were cut out twice in white Cardstock, I coloured them with Copic Pens and a layer of Mica Powders to give them a look of Satin. I double layered my bow for added dimension.

My Ballerina was cut out in white cardstock and coloured with Copic Pens and Distress Ink onto her dress, with a touch of Mica Powders on her shoes. The bottom part of her dress was layered up 3 times to give added dimension and some tiny flowers added to the waist band.

Tiny flowers were added onto my flourish, finally finishing off my card with some bling. My finished card measures approx - 41/5" x 6"
